Caffe Nonna in Nashville

I’ve written about the culinary classes Himself and I have taken with Nashville chef Dan Maggipinto.  I was finally able to take Himself for the treat of eating at Dan’s restaurant “Caffe Nonna” (http://caffenonna.com ).
 
 
It’s a small restaurant with incredible personal service.  Unless you are getting there right at opening, reservations are your best bet for getting a seat.  We booked early and by the time we finished our meal the place was packed!
 
 
An open kitchen adds to the atmosphere. 
 
 
I had the ‘Lasagna Nonna’ – “Layers of butternut squash, spinach, pasta, and ricotta on sautéed Swiss chard with two sauces”.  Excellent!
 
 
Himself enjoyed the ‘Seafood Angelina’ – “Fresh mussels, scallops, shrimp, and baby clams sautéed with tomatoes, garlic, saffron, chilies, pancetta, and cream then tossed with fettuccine.
 
It was a great evening.
 
Dan also has a pizzeria right next door for a more casual dinner.
